Efeským 4:14

In this 3-day devotional, Eugene Peterson, the pastor-poet behind The Message Bible, imparts a glimpse of his compelling quest to discover not only how to be a pastor but how to be a human being. It is Peterson's journey to live and teach a life of congruence - between what we do and the way we do it, between what is written in Scripture and how we live out that truth.

How would you describe your faith journey?  Is it a well-established fire?  Is it warming? Comforting? Does it push away darkness?  Or is merely a spark? Not quite yet a flame?  Hardly casting a shadow.  These guided audio meditations will help recognize a spark from an encounter with God.  And watch the spark turn to flame.  Pushing out fear and darkness.

This plan will explore what the letter of Ephesians can teach us in four areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

Unity in a Divided World explores how unity in the body of Christ is not about uniformity but about celebrating our diverse gifts and backgrounds in love. Over four days, we will look at how Jesus prayed for our unity, why it is crucial, and how we can strive to maintain it in a world often marked by division.
